Secondary Complications Doc

Lamont Valentin is a 29-year-old, who was born with HIV. As a kid he was told he would never survive to adulthood but his HIV is under control, he's married and a father to one-year-old Mason. But even though his illness is under control he's sicker than he's ever been. 

As a kid, Lamont's HIV lead to many bouts of pneumonia and at age 27, just before Mason was born, he developed pulmonary hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He needs a lung transplant, but his HIV status has kept him from being added to the transplant list in New York, even though some transplant doctors find that unfair.
